- Are these shutters functional?
- No. They are fixed-mount decorative shutters that attach flat to the wall beside the window. They do not hinge, open or close.
- Will PVC shutters hold up outdoors?
- Yes. PVC does not rot, swell or feed insects the way wood does, and it handles rain and humidity well. The factory finish still fades slowly in strong sun over the years.
- How do I size them for my window?
- Measure the window height and pick shutters close to that height, since these are fixed at 34 inches. For a balanced look, each panel should be about half the window width.
- Do they come prefinished?
- Yes, they ship in a factory-applied moss green finish. Touch-ups at cut or drilled spots are still worth doing after installation.
- Can I paint them a different color?
- Yes. A paint made for PVC or exterior plastic will bond, but scuff the surface first. Painting over the factory finish adds maintenance you would otherwise avoid.
- What is included with a pair?
- The pair covers both sides of one window. Mounting hardware is typically included, so check the box before buying separate fasteners.
- Where is the Ekena Millwork 18 True Fit Farmhouse/Flat Panel Combination Fixed Mount Board and Batten Pair Moss Green cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $265.88, as of our latest check.
